We'll have a cute house.

- You just see how I run it.

Bhabi has taught me everything.

How to run a home economically.

Decorate it simply.

And I'll cook for you...

Sew buttons on your shirts.

- One minute.

Don't have a phone! It always

irritates like an uninvited guest!

No, not inspector, just Vijay.

Who's calling?

Didn't you recognise my voice?

- Oh, it's you.

But, it's no use phoning me now.

- I want to meet you.

Where can we meet?

- Look...

Right...

Who was it?

- That's what I want to know too.

Over here, son.

Are you the one, who?

Yes.

- You always informed the police.

But you never showed up,

nor gave your name.

I'm D'Silva.

- Weren't you ever tempted...

to get a reward

for the information you gave?

To keep this living corpse mobile...

rewards are not really needed.

Just some food.

Then why do you take the trouble?

- I'll tell you.

Do you see these three graves?

They belong to my sons.

This is Roger's.

This is George's and

that one is Tony's.

Roger was 24 years old.

George, 22 years old

And Tony... he was the youngest.

He was just 19. I loved

my sons very much.

I brought them up with great care.

God's will, will be done.

- No!

Had God snatched them...

I'd have tolled the bell morning

and evening for their peace.

Then who snatched your sons?

This thing.

Two years ago today.

It was a X-mas Eve.

It was Christ's birthday.

The whole world was rejoicing.

My sons also got this bottle

to make merry.

When I came back from the church...

my world had crumbled. The

adulterated liquor from this bottle...

snatched my sons from me.

What a lovely gift my sons left

behind as a X-mas gift for me.

This empty bottle! For two

years now, I'm holding...

this empty bottle like a

child and roaming around!

People in each and every

liquor den, think I'm crazy.

They never hesitate

to let secrets out before me.

Whatever I heard from them,

I used to tell you on the phone.

I stayed alive carrying

this sorrow in my heart...

so that I can expose those

people who make this hooch.

The moment I came to know.

I called you over here.

No. I'm not a police officer now.

- So what?

You're a good man, aren't you?

- You called me too late.

I've promised someone.

I can't do anything for you.

You can't do anything?

Okay. And why should you?

I've lost my sons.

Why should you bother?

He was someone different

Who died on the cross for others.

But remember this, son. Unless these

enemies of humanity are erased...

Each home will have a graveyard

and fathers will lug empty bottles!

Don't be a coward. Help me!

I misjudged you.

I'm crazy you see.

Mad! Go have son, Go now.

Look at these lovely interiors.

How beautiful these curtains are!

When you'll make our home

I'll hang such curtains in it.

Look! Please.

Nice! We'll also hang

such curtains in our home.

And I won't even bother to know

what's going on...

on the other side of them.

Outside...

Outside our beautiful curtains,

if people are dying, let them!

Let smugglers' trucks crush

innocent kinds. Why should I care?

I promise you, Mala.

If I hear them scream...

I'll hide my face in your hair.

I'll look into your lovely eyes...

And not remember that an aged father

is searching for his sons' killers!

Sure, Mala! We'll

make a beautiful home.

We'll forget that this world,

in which we've made a home...

is such an ugly place!

There's so much of tyranny.

So much of injustice!

We'll forget it all! All right?

So be it, Mala. So be it!

What's the problem?

- He keeps silent. That's the problem

He's doesn't talk, nor laugh.

He gets irritated with me.

Ask him what wrong I have done.

If I stop him from doing something...

is it for my own gain?

What if he gets hurt?

Trust in God.

Vijay will be fine.

If this continues, something will

definitely happen to me!

He just doesn't laugh anymore.

- Right. Send him to my house.

He changed my life,

taught me many things.

Can't I teach him to laugh again?

Go and tell him, that...

it's my birthday today,

and he has to come. Go!

I couldn't get you a nice gift

I'm afraid.

Gift?

I've already got the gift

I most desired in my life.

Even if my maker asks me what

I want, I'll have just one answer.

What?

- I won't tell you yet.

Today's my B-day, so be seated.

Make room please.

Now I'll explain to you.

"Should Allah tell me..."

"to ask Him for something"

"I will ask..."

"that we friends continue to meet

and make merry"

"May we drink together,

break bread together..."

"be each other's companions

and share our secrets"

"Till doomsday..."

"shall our friendship

glow like a lamp"

"Friendship is my faith,

my friend means the life to me"

"That you love another human..."

"is the biggest worship"

"Friendship is my faith,

my friend means the life to me"

"Sing a song in the world..."

"and let the air be rent

with feelings of love"

"Hearts that have love..."

"are blessed even by the Spring"

"My friend brings

all the beauty..."

"my friend brings all

the simplicity of love"

"Friendship is my faith,

my friend means the life to me"

"Even if I were to lose my life

for my friend..."

"I would never regret it"

"That my friend should suffer

while I'm around..."

"I would never be so selfish"

"Wherever I go..."

"there shall be happiness

and joy"

"Friendship is my faith,

my friend means the life to me"

"My dear friend,

why do you appear to be depressed?"

"My beloved friend,

why do you appear sad?"

"You appear to have fallen victim

to despair"

"Do not hide it from me,

tell me the feelings of your heart"

"What price your smile?

Tell me"

"Command me, and I shall get

the Moon the stars for you"

"For you, I'll bring the

splendid sights"

"To you, I am bound..."

"you have been a good friend"

"Your smile is

the biggest gift for me"

"The smile on my friend's face..."

"the smile on my friend's face

brings back youth to the party"

"Friendship is my faith,

my friend means the life to me"

Wonderful! I shall await

your next birthday very eagerly.

It wasn't my birthday!

- What!

Felt like meeting friends,

so I had a party.

I was so tiny when I was born,

that I don't even know my B-day!

So let's have a birthday tomorrow too.

- Done!

Okay then. I'll go now.

- I'll drop you. Hey! Get the jeep.

Don't bother, I'll go on my own.

There's on English proverb.

"Walk a mile after you dine"

- Listen, friend...

The Englishman who said this,

must not be having an enemy.

I've hold you before;

I don't trust those friends.

You trust in God, don't you?

- But of course.

Then don't worry. Okay, I'll go now.

- As you wish.

God bless.

What is it, Khan?

- May God have mercy.

I've had a nightmare!

The blood group matches, sir.

- See doctor?

I told you, our blood will match.

- Had you got it tested before?

The need never arose.

- Then how were you so sure?

Simple. He's lion-hearted-too.

Our blood has to match!

Strange logic! Come.

- Okay.

Have you gone mad, Vijay?
